This is my personal blog which I began in February 2001. I called it The Obvious? when I wrote anonymously and chose the name to reflect the fact I have to overcome my inhibitions about stating the obvious!

There's not much I regret about my life. I have been lucky enough to have a go at most things and get good at some of them but watching a TV programme this evening about rugby technique made me realise how much I regret not having played rugby. My school just didn't do it and despite going to watch umpteen Scotland internationals at Murrayfield with my Dad and having lots of rugby playing friends at university and beyond it just never happened.
